I just happen to have a typical box that drives ship in. It is 8x6x4 inches, where all the space not taken up by the 3.5 inch drive is taken up by dense good quality foam. I have no idea how that compares to shipping boxes elsewhere.
My two drives, from Amazon, each arrived in a 20*15*10 cm box, approximately. Drives were locked in pace by simple plastic supports that would surround the short side of the drives by possibly 2cm, and extend to fill the smallest sides of the box. Rest of the box was completely empty.
This happened over time with virtually every HDD I've ordered from Amazon (10-15 maybe, over the last 5 years).
